Lion sighting

There is a bit of a story to this photo. We were driving in Kruger along a road where some leopard had been sighted earlier. We came across a few cars and on driving closer, I could see about eight lions laying on a sand bank in the Sabie River. We parked behind a lady and man and waited for the lady to take her photos and then move on. She would take a couple and put her camera down, then take a couple more and put the camera down. After a while they just sat chatting, not looking at the lions at all. Peter beeped them to let them know we were waiting, buy they still didn't move. We waited patiently for a while to see if they would move, but no. We saw that the car in front of them had moved so we moved ahead of them. As we drove past, Peter yelled "we paid our money too, you know" LOL. By the time we parked and I looked, the lions had all stood up and were walking across the river to the other side, too far away for photos and impeded by bushes. By this time people had parked on both sides of the road and even in the middle, some sideways, so nobody could move. It took over half an hour before anyone could move and drive away - very frustrating. The rules of Kruger are that you park on the side of the road where the animal is sighted and leave the other side free for people to pass, but people just go crazy, especially when they see lion or leopard.
